Reproduction of Found ("ROF") is a brand of the Japanese group Eye Found Co. Ltd established in 2016.

The primary goal of the brand is to reproduce shoes and sneakers from the 50s to the 90s. It has specialized in training sneakers from various world militaries: Canadian, French, American, German, British, and Russian.

This model is a reinterpretation of the iconic German Army Trainer, often abbreviated as GAT. The origin of this model dates back to the 1970s, when the German Federal Army ("Bundeswehr" or "BW") wished to order half a million sneakers suitable for the intense training of its battalions. Two major German brands then competed for this contract: Adidas and Puma.

The model we know did come to fruition, but the archives of the time do not allow us to determine which house originated it, and the mystery remains unsolved to this day, with the various participants' accounts continuing to fuel the legend.

This version offered by ROF retains the design of the upper part, crafted in a luxurious mix of grained and suede Italian Nappa leathers, with a lining of soft, padded fabric for unique comfort. The outsole, however, differs from the original, replaced here by a vulcanized rubber skateboard sole for increased durability. The spirit of skateboard shoes can be felt through the volume of the sneaker, excellent cushioning, and optimal grip. The models offered by ROF are among the best reproductions of the kind and offer great durability combined with immediate comfort.
